This is hardly surprising given the attack on knowledge by populists in recent years. If you aren't subscribing to the populist views of science, knowledge and experts, you aren't going to trust the people you need to trust (experts such as doctors, economists and scientists). Likewise if I entered a doctors' office and saw or heard signs they themselves subscribe to these beliefs (e.g. are anti vaccine like ) then it would be pretty natural to distrust this doctor. So the bottom line is that this works both ways, but one way is correct and the other isn't.
